Canal & River Explorers is the education team of the Canal & River Trust. Along with Muddy Puddles, we are also proud supporters of Empty Classroom Day – a day to celebrate outdoor learning in schools. By leading school trips to key waterside destinations across the UK, we regularly see the benefits of learning outside the classroom. It’s all very well us telling you about it, but seeing it for yourself is much more fun. We’ve made a photo diary of what we get up to on a daily basis. Enjoy!
